It appears that hwbrowser is not available for CentOS 6.

[code][ken@vmCentOS6-64 Desktop]$ yum whatprovides hwbrowser
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, refresh-packagekit
base | 3.7 kB 00:00
epel/metalink | 13 kB 00:00
extras | 951 B 00:00
rpmforge | 1.1 kB 00:00
rpmforge 3946/3946 updates | 3.5 kB 00:00
967 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
Warning: 3.0.x versions of yum would erroneously match against filenames.
You can use "*/hwbrowser" and/or "*bin/hwbrowser" to get that behaviour
No Matches found[/code]

[url=http://rpm.pbone.net]This site[/url] also shows that hwbrowser is not available past CentOS 5.6.

So it looks like there is not an EASY solution. Perhaps an SRPM could be converted to CentOS 6 and installed but that is beyond my expertise and comfort level at the moment.
